There is no boning or padding in the bra so this offers very little support or shaping. Also, the super stretchy straps meant it was difficult to keep the lingerie in place during sex. The double strap on the thong kept bunching together and the bra kept spinning around.

I love how unyielding glass dildos are, they don’t mould and bend to fit my anatomy, the firmness can be brutal. Firm G-Spot stimulation is one of the almost guaranteed ways to make me orgasm and glass is one of my favourite sex toy materials – how could I resist when Cara had not one but three stunning glass dildos available for sex toy testers to review?

I’m completely in love with the Fun Factory Black Line Big Boss Vibrator; the girth and the rumble are everything I want in a vibrator. I can’t fault it given the strength of the orgasms it gives me.

I love bullet vibrators, they regularly feature in my solo and partnered play and are the most reliable way to bring me to a clitoral orgasm. One of the first toys I ever bought was a bullet vibrator, but I haven’t had a battery operated one in years so was interested to see if I could still get off with one given most of my clitoral toys now are rechargeable/mains operated and deliver some serious power.

Bondara Cheeky School Girl Outfit Review By Pleasure Panel reviewer Just Jess I’ve never really understood the school girl fantasy, I was the biggest geek at...

The Lovehoney Provocatease Black Fishnet and Lace Underwired Backless Body is one size, aiming to fit those between a UK 8-16. I’ve always been a bit sceptical of one size fits all (or most) but the fit on the body fits my size 14ish frame well and equally looks stunning on Lovehoney’s size 8 model.

Most of my restraints are leather so I was curious to try the HNRX ES Bondage Rubber Wrist Cuffs from Honour; would they smell as good, would they be as strong and durable, would they put me in the same submissive head space as my leather restraints?

With an insertable length of just 4.75 inches the Loving Joy Curved 5 Inch Silicone Dildo With Suction Cup from Loving Joy is the most petite dildo in my collection. I am usually more of a size queen when it comes to toys but according to a Journal of Urology study, the average penis size is 5.1 inches so I was curious about how I'd find such a petite toy.

I’m a big fan of strap on play, both pegging a partner or for DP on myself but none of my current strap ons are particularly well suited to the latter, so I jumped at the chance to review the Lifelike Lover Realistic Pleasures Strap On Dildo Kit (4 Piece) from Lovehoney when it came up for review on September’s Pleasure Panel.

Basically, this feature controls the speed and intensity of the Womanizer Premium Smart Silence White Clitoral Stimulator but not in the way some vibrators have a "random" setting which repeats. You can scale the intensity yourself using the +/- settings but once selected the Womanizer teases and taunts you between the chosen settings, building and falling seemingly randomly but ultimately in a crescendo. This is both insanely frustrating and insanely hot! It’s the closest feeling a toy has ever given me to be teased by a partner. I have no control and I love it.

Nexus Range describe the Nexus G-Play Plus Small Rechargeable Vibrating Butt Plug as smallest in their range but I hadn’t quite anticipated just how tiny it would be. At just 6cm in length and circumference the G Play small is smaller than my thumb!

To me, collars have always connoted ownership. A slave. Bound. Whilst I’m a big fan of the Dom/sub dynamic and BDSM in general, I’ve never been in the kind of relationship where I’ve wanted to be or felt ready to be collared. I even shy away from soft, play collars. It’s a barrier I just couldn’t get my head around until recently.

I’m a huge fan of the original Satisfyer Pro 2; nearly two years after I was sent it to review I still reach for it at least once a week and it’s still working perfectly. I’ve seen all of the new models come to the market and while they’ve piqued my curiosity because of how much I love my Pro 2 I haven’t felt the need to replace the one I had. I was wrong! Thanks to Cara I recently received the Satisfyer Pro Traveller to review. Holy shit!

The pastel yellow of the Blush Novelties Naughty Candy Hearts Spank Me Butt Plug instantly appealed to me simply for not being another of the usual sea of pinks and purples that toy companies seem to insist we all want. Also, 'Spank Me' is one of my favourite phrases to utter during sex. I loved the idea of cheekily slipping the Candy Heart "Spank Me" Butt Plug in and letting a partner find it there nestled between my cheeks, inviting them.

I love the helplessness I feel when I’m tied up or bound. I was lucky enough to be sent the Loving Joy Bound Noir Nubuck Leather Slim Wrist Cuffs along with a Loving Joy Bound Noir Nubuck Leather Riding Crop by Cara Sutra as part of her Pleasure Panel, thank you Cara and Loving Joy for supplying both items in exchange for my open and honest review.

The Loving Joy Bound Noir Nubuck Leather Riding Crop from Loving Joy smells rich and delicious; opening the package for the first time the smell struck me before I’d fully unwrapped the stunning crop and even after a few weeks of play, the scent is still strong and fills me with delicious anticipation every time I get it out.

The Lovehoney Elixir Luxury Lace Crotchless Cut-Out Body is the third item I’ve tried from the new Lovehoney Elixir range. I treated myself to the corset and body chain just before Christmas and love them but couldn’t justify a third piece.

I was lucky enough to receive the Bondage Boutique Slap n Tickle 10 Inch Rubber Flogger in exchange for my open and honest review in October's Pleasure Panel round. Thank you to Cara and Lovehoney.

I read Cara’s review of the Loving Joy 20 Function Power Bullet Vibrator last November and was amazed that a power queen like Cara raved about it so much.

I chose to test the YES OB Plant Oil Based Lube with my newest glass dildo which features a very large bulbous head. Normally I would only use a tint drop of water based lube on a glass toy but the sheer size of the head on this made me want to try something more substantial that was going to last.
